If you’re feeling depressed, here’s what I’d recommend:

1

- listen to hopeful, encouraging, or happy music (no super depressing music allowed)

2 - get outside: you need to see the sky/sun (don’t close all your blinds)

3 - force yourself to spend time with other people (even if you don’t feel like it)

4 - make sure you don’t skip breakfast because it will mess with your stress hormones

5 - Exercise! It releases tons of endorphins that give you positive emotion and reduces your perception of pain

6 - make a plan for your life. Your brain produces positive emotions when it sees you are making progress towards a valued goal. So set some goals and pursue them diligently.

    What would you recommend to do if the depression was deeper than I(or other people) expected?

    @りさ Then I’d highly recommend talking to someone about it. Talking to someone you can trust and who knows how to help is crucial. They can help you look at things clearly, formulate a plan to resolve what is making you depressed, and encourage you when you’re down.

    @Ada Ada haha I understand it’s daunting, for sure! Try taking really small, manageable steps. Take 1 of the 8 main areas of your life, and make a few basic, easy to achieve goals. As you make progress towards them, your brain will reward you with lots of positive emotion. Over time, you’ll be able to do this in all areas of your life.

    @남김한결 People really underestimate how much exercise improves your mood. In fact, exercise helps far more than even antidepressants. And it doesn’t have all the huge negative side effects those drugs have.
